Wills

A Will sets out what happens to your property, possessions, and finances, and only takes effect when you die.

Will writing is so important. It is the only way to protect the futures of those you leave behind, by ensuring your wishes are carried out as intended.

The main reasons for having a Will are to:

  • Protect the people important to you by guaranteeing they receive their rightful share
  • Choose the guardians you wish to look after your children
  • Provide for vulnerable or disabled dependents
  • Plan and control your assets from unforeseen events
  • Reduce Inheritance Tax that may be payable

Once we are satisfied your wishes have been understood, we recommend the best solution to protect your legacy, from the preparation through to the execution of your Will.

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA’s)

LPA’s allow you to appoint trusted people of your choice, to make decisions about your money, property, health and welfare, during your lifetime.

These documents are separate to your Will, however, many people put them in place when they write their Will.

LPA’s are important to consider because progressive illnesses, such as Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease, or unexpected events like a stroke or major accident, means your circumstances may suddenly change.

Your spouse, partner, or next of kin has no automatic legal right to manage your affairs.

Advance Decision (Living Will)

You can express specific wishes about the future level of care or treatment you would want to receive in advance, for example, during a terminal illness.

This statement is made whilst you have capacity, in anticipation of a time in the future, when you lose capacity.

The benefit is to remove families from having to make difficult decisions about your treatment at a time of emotional stress.

Severance of Joint Tenancy

If you own your property with someone as joint tenants, it means that upon death, the ownership of the property passes to the surviving owner, and does not pass under the terms of your Will.

Changing how you own your property is sometimes required when writing a Will, as you may want to leave your share of the property to the beneficiaries of your choice, such as your children.

Where appropriate, we will prepare the required documentation.

Lifetime & Discretionary Trusts

A Trust is a way of legally transferring ownership of money, investments, property or other assets for the benefit of loved ones, to protect assets for future generations.

It can be set up during your lifetime, or can be included in your Will, and can help safeguard legacies from specific events, such as bankruptcy or divorce.

Funeral Plans

One of the most thoughtful things you can do for others, is to pre-plan and pay for your funeral.

A funeral plan helps you to protect your loved ones against unexpected costs, and enables your family to make the right decisions about your funeral.

It is important to maintain your lifestyle when considering strategies to reduce the value of your estate.
